This is the 5th day of the challenge. What should I write about my parent? I’m not a poet, I didn’t have an appropriate writing skills to describe how beautiful they are. What did I do to deserve them? Nothing, they are actually who wanted me.

I never wish to be born at all, I don’t know what will going to happen afterwards. Even today and now. But they are living in my heart, my mind, myself. They are a reflection of me.

Dear Bapak,

I failed you many times, and you failed me many time as well. You taught me how to be standing on my own feet and sometimes, the way to taught me hurt my feeling that bad. You remember when was Galileo born and death but never be able to say a word when I celebrate my birthday. Who are you?

Dear Ibu,

Am I never been enough for you?

I don’t want to be a hypocrite. I hate my parent sometimes. They want me to be what they wanted. They are took from me that much and thought they were give me enough.

Dear you and myself, a future parents. Talk to our children the way we want they talk to us. Treat them the way we want to be treat. Appreciate their achievement the way we want to appreciate to what we give.
